The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If they don't recognize the authority of the President over immigration matters, they don't belong here.

Seems that Congress has authority to set immigration laws. The POTUS has the job of enforcing the laws. So, whether the POTUS, by himself, can decree certain countries, as "unacceptable", is debatable. The larger point is, if the US government says "if you follow the process laid out, keep your nose clean, and work hard, you can earn citizenship", then slams the door in people's face, when they have complied with every requirement of the policy, then what is the point of complying with the policy?

Same applies to natural born U.S. citizens but we're stuck with you aren't we.

Yes you are. :^) And I have certified birth certificates for both of my US born parents, to prove I am not an anchor baby. Do you?
